00:00If you will go to the market, the price of each kilo of rice will decrease in some families in Metro Manila.
00:06Live from Manila, the first news is Bam Alegre.
00:10Bam.
00:14Good morning. Now that the holiday season is coming, let's monitor the movement of the price of rice here in Blumen Street Market in Manila.
00:22The price of rice is not dropping.
00:26According to Cherry Martinez, she has been looking for a place to sell rice in Blumen Street Market in Manila.
00:32She suddenly sold her rice because the price of rice from the supplier, both local and imported, is slowly decreasing.
00:39Whatever they sell, the same thing happens to us retailers.
00:45For the past 5 months, the price of rice has decreased by more than P100 per kaban.
00:54Others' prices have decreased by P5 per kilo.
00:58Before, our lowest was P48, P49. Now, it's P45.
01:03So, in total, the price of her rice sellers varies from P45 to P55 per kilo.
01:09This is a big help for her supplier, Christy Rea Lengo, who has a grocery store.
01:13The price of rice has decreased a lot.
01:16So far, it's good because it's a big help for us.
01:20For the grocery stores, of course, when the price of rice decreases, the income is good.
01:26According to the Philippine Statistics Authority or PSA, the average price of regular milled rice per kilo was P50.22 per kilo in October.
01:35It didn't go up much to the P50.66 per kilo price in August.
01:40According to the Philippine Millers Association or KMP,
01:43the price of rice decreased by P44 from the Executive Order No. 62 signed by the President.
01:48The tariff on imported rice decreased from 35% to 15%.
01:54One of the effects of EO62 is that the price of local rice decreased from P25 per kilo
01:59to P15 to P18 per kilo which has an effect on farmers.
02:04We asked for permission from the Department of Agriculture.
02:07Because there are many types of rice to choose from,
02:10the budget will be adjusted to feel the price decrease of some variants of rice.
02:14For example, Sam Fayaldo, who buys rice here in Bloomingtree,
02:18the cheapest price is P45 per kilo.
02:21Sometimes, it goes up.
02:24We thought it was from Bongbong Marcos.
02:28We hoped it would be P21 per kilo.
02:31It didn't go up.
02:35There are many types of rice to be sold here in Bloomingtree Market this morning.
02:40Jasmine rice, Sinandobeng, and imported rice from Vietnam.
02:45This is the first news from Manila.
02:47Vamalegre for GMA Integrated News.
